Norton Re: Glacier Mall/northbound corridorsI live in Whitefish, and have worked in both Kalispell
and in Whitefish, as well as having driven around the
entire county for work and leisure. I do not support
unplanned growth in this neck of the woods. I've been
to most of the states in the nation, many big cities,
and 11 foreign countries. I moved back to the valley
12 years ago because I thought.."where is the most
beautiful place I've ever been?", and it was here.
This place is not just special, it is amazing. We need
to preserve the valley for those in the future who
will need a sanctuary..one place in the nation where
the landscape is the dominant theme..not box stores,
traffic lights, cars cars cars, noise noise noise, and
the rude people that then become the norm...but
someplace where, even as you are driving to work, even
as you do your shopping, even as you tend to the daily
chores of life..you still see beauty on a moment by
moment basis. If you do not set strict guidelines NOW,
you are selling the soul of this place. For what? We
humans have plenty. We will have plenty. And most of
us will be gone in a few decades. Why not just be
respectful of this glorious habitat, and allow nature
still to be the backdrop. These are dangerous times
for us all...and I am serious when i say that. You
could destroy thousands of years of what nature and
God have created in one decision. Please be mindful,
and know that to most of us it really does matter what
you vote on. Vote on the beauty, safety, and peace
first and foremost. Why would we want to become
"anywhere, USA" when this glory is where we are at?
Preserve it please. Sincerely, Rebecca A. Norton
